327: halloween Oct 31, 2015

Tomorrow is All Saints Day. Another term for a saint is 'hallow', and as such the evening before a day for hallows is "All Hallows Eve/Evening/Even". In the 18th century, contractions were much more common than they are now, and so 'Halloween' was born.
Happy All Hallows' Even
